Episode 106: VizBe Vision Boards, TEKSystems

For the first time since we moved to the new studio, we weren’t completely overbooked and insanely packed with guests last night, which was a nice change of pace and allowed us to have some great conversations with Natalia from VizBe and Alexas from TEKSystems…

VizBe is a company that’s put together software to create electronic-based vision boards to help you achieve your goals by staying focused, being able to visualize what it is that you’re working for and more. We were lucky enough to get Natalia Petraszczuk, the company’s founder. They’ve got a lot of great things coming as well, and the chat led to why a company getting national attention chooses to stay in Detroit, things in the area of note, and beyond.

TEKSystems is a national, even international, company with an office here in the metro Detroit area, and they’ve been coming to our events for some time now. We were joined by Alexas Bihn, one of their recruiters, to talk about what they’re seeing in the metro Detroit marketplace, their approach to hiring, what their needs are in the area at the moment, and a whole bunch more.
